Garrett proved a lot over the past three weeks. Sure, he went 1-2 over the past three weeks, but all games were very close and he had them competitive. The defense really let them down this game, but you can't blame too much of that on Garrett. Just gotta get better players and work in a new scheme. Igor just got owned on that last drive.

Eh, don't be so sensitive. It does make him look like a *****, to be completely honest. And if he isn't taking it seriously enough to where he doesn't give a crap that they just lost at home, then he doesn't belong on the team. I know that's not the case, and i'm sure he had some reason why he asked for the autograph, but he asked him on national television. There's just no defending that imo.

Wade is gonna make a damn good 3-4 DC wherever he goes, but I don't see the fit anywhere in the division other then Washington and I feel like E-man does about them. I look for Wade to end up in Denver honestly. I was very disappointed in how our D started to play for him down the stretch, even when we were playing well turnovers were low, and now all of a sudden it's turnover galore.

Don't know what made the light come on, but I'd always been upset about that. I think he'd set Philly or NY back even further, too many pieces that fit a 4-3 and were drafted to be 4-3 players. It would take 2-3 years to get his guys and even then their D probably wouldn't be much better off.

I think the turnovers the last few weeks are probably related to playing more zone coverage since Pasqualoni took over.

You can't play DeSean in zone coverage and let him run at your safeties.

I thought last year we learned enough about how to play the Eagles and that getting in their little WR face and pressing them throws off their game.

We forgot it seems. The results showed. Sad how NFL guys are a bit stupid and have short memories.

We also seem to forgot that Miles Austin is a beast but if you make him run drag routes that you make him "small." Plus the current QB does not seem to like to throw any of the traditional zampese downfield routes.

I guess the one question I have is why invest so much money into the WR position when you're not going to use them? Was I alone in being very frustrated that we didn't take any downfield shots on those rookie corners? It's like our entire offense is screens, draws, and 5 yard routes... If Garrett stays we better get a new OC who can run a functional offense.

I knew someone was gonna be pissed bout the Choice thing but I see no problem at all with that. After the game these guys become friends, the team that lost is laughing and hugging guys, while most of us are still pissed.

All that aside, Vick is gonna be an all-time great QB in the record books, and he had to go to hell and back for his talent to shine through. Maybe people started to respect him after he got his life together more so then before, but I know Choice is from right outside of Atlanta and Vick is the type of player I'd see no problem with it.

I guess people are gonna see it differently, but it's obvious Choice has more heart then 99% of the people on this team. It's a game moment, game gloves, it's not the first time something like that has happened nor the last. It was caught on camera, but I literally remember hearing about stuff like this tons of time since I started watching football.

Not just Reggie White like one of the talking heads said, I've seen Andre sign and give his gloves to players, I've seen players take their jerseys off and sign them for players. Didn't Pacman get TO's shoes signed or something like that when he played for Tennessee? Oh but this was a big deal? Lol. Real respects real, it doesn't make you a ***** to ask for an autograph and it happens every year.

That's a good observation. Guys are facing the QB now and getting to react to the ball in the air instead of balls out man blitz. I prefer man schemes but I think a change was needed, especially with Jenkins not dominating man coverage like last year.

The whole secondary needs work. Jenkins has been terrible this year. I'd still hold out hope on him bc last year he was so good, but his attitude is not desirable.

I still believe that switching to a 4-3 defense wouldn't be a terrible idea for this team.

I like Ware AND I like Jay R. Everyone else I never really thought much about. If you switch to a 4-3 then you're negating what Ware brings to the table. All the productive stuff he does, like getting sacks, and being feared goes out the window.

I am 1,000,000 X more scared of Ware in a 34 then I would be in a 43 scheme.

Ware, Ratliff, and Bradie are the only guys who have actually been any good this year. And Ware/Ratliff have had spans of not doing anything. Ratliff has turned it on again, but Ware has been bad for Ware.
